Part Types
The following policy part types are defined:
CHECKBOX
| Displays a check box. The value is set in the registry with the REG_DWORD
type. The value will be nonzero if the check box is checked by the user and zero if
it is unchecked.
|
COMBOBOX
| Displays a combo box.
|
DROPDOWNLIST
| Displays a combo box with a drop-down list style. The user may only choose
from one of the entries supplied. The main advantage of a combo box with a
drop-down list is that a number of extra registry edits may be specified, based on the
user's selection.
|
EDITTEXT
| Displays an edit field that accepts alphanumeric text. The text is set in the
registry with the REG_SZ type.
|
LISTBOX
| Displays a list box with "add" and "remove" buttons. This is the only part
type that can be used to manage multiple values under one key.
|
NUMERIC
| Displays an edit field with an optional spinner control (an up-down control)
that accepts a numeric value. The value is set in the registry with the
REG_DWORD type.
|
TEXT
| Displays a line of static (label) text. There is no associated registry value
with this part type.
|
Descriptions of these policy part types follow.
CHECKBOX Part Type
The CHECKBOX part type accepts the following options:
ACTIONLISTOFF
| Specifies an optional action list to be used if the check box is turned off.
For more information, see "Action Lists" later in this topic.
|
ACTIONLISTON
| Specifies an optional action list to be used if the check box is turned on.
For more information, see "Action Lists" later in this topic.
|
DEFCHECKED
| Causes the check box to be initially checked.
|
VALUEOFF
| Overrides the default "off" behavior of the check box if specified.
|
VALUEON
| Overrides the default "on" behavior of the check box if specified.
|
The default behavior of a check box is to write the value 1 to the registry if
it is checked and 0 if it is unchecked. VALUEON and VALUEOFF are used to
override this behavior. For example, the following option writes "Fred" to the
registry when the check box is checked.
VALUEON "Fred"
The following option writes the value 12 to the registry when the check box is
unchecked.
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 12
COMBOBOX Part Type
The COMBOBOX part type accepts all the options that EDITTEXT does as well as
the following option:
SUGGESTIONS
| Begins a list of suggestions to be placed in the drop-down list. Suggestions
are separated with spaces and can be enclosed by double quotation marks. The
list ends with END SUGGESTIONS. Following is an example:
SUGGESTIONS
Alaska Alabama Mississippi "New York"
END SUGGESTIONS
|
DROPDOWNLIST Part Type
The DROPDOWNLIST part type accepts the following options:
ITEMLIST
| Begins a list of the items in the drop-down list. The list must end with END
ITEMLIST.
|
REQUIRED
| Specifies that the policy editor will not allow a policy containing this part
to be enabled unless a value has been entered for the part.
|
Each item in the ITEMLIST option must be specified as follows.
NAME name VALUE value
[
ACTIONLIST actionlist]
...
name
Text to be displayed in the drop-down list for this item.
Value to be written as the part's value if this item is selected. Values are
assumed to be strings, unless they are preceded by NUMERIC. The following
example shows both string and numeric values.
VALUE "Some value"
VALUE NUMERIC 1
If VALUE is followed by DELETE (for example, VALUE DELETE), the registry
valuename and
value pair will be deleted.
actionlist
Optional action list to be used if this value is selected. For more
information about action lists, see "Action Lists" later in this topic.
EDITTEXT Part Type
The EDITTEXT part type accepts the following options:
DEFAULT value
| Specifies the initial string to place in the edit field. If this option is not
specified, the field is initially empty.
|
MAXLEN value
| Specifies the maximum length of a string. The string in the edit field is
limited to this length.
|
REQUIRED
| Specifies that the policy editor will not allow a policy containing this part
to be enabled, unless a value has been entered for this part.
|
OEMCONVERT
| Sets the ES_OEMCONVERT style in the edit field so that typed text is mapped
from ANSI to OEM and back.
|
LISTBOX Part Type
The VALUENAME option cannot be used with the LISTBOX part type, because there
is no single value name associated with this type. By default, only one column
appears in the list box, and for each entry a value is created whose name and
value are the same. For instance, a "fred" entry in the list box would create a
value named "fred" whose data was "fred".
The LISTBOX part type accepts the following options:
ADDITIVE
| By default, the content of list boxes will "override" whatever values are set
in the target registry. (That is, a control value is inserted in the policy
file, which causes existing values to be deleted before the values set in the
policy file are merged.) If this option is specified, existing values are not
deleted, and the values set in the list box will be in addition to whatever values
exist in the target registry.
|
EXPLICITVALUE
| This option makes the user specify not only the value data, but the value name
as well. The list box will show two columns for each item, one for the name
and one for the data. This option cannot be used with the VALUEPREFIX option.
|
VALUEPREFIX prefix
| The prefix specified is used in determining value names. If a prefix is
specified, the prefix and an incremented integer will be used instead of the default
value naming scheme described previously. For example, a prefix of "SomeName"
will generate the value names "SomeName1", "SomeName2", and so on. The prefix
can be empty (""), which will cause the value names to be "1", "2", and so on.
|
NUMERIC Part Type
The NUMERIC part type accepts the following options:
DEFAULT value
| Specifies the initial numeric value for the edit field. If this option is not
specified, the field is initially empty.
|
MAX value
| Specifies the maximum value for the number. The default value is 9999.
|
MIN value
| Specifies the minimum value for the number. The default value is 0.
|
REQUIRED
| Specifies that the policy editor will not allow a policy containing this part
to be enabled unless a value has been entered for this part.
|
SPIN value
| Specifies increments to use for the spinner control. SPIN 0 removes the
spinner control. SPIN 1 is the default.
|
TXTCONVERT
| Writes values as REG_SZ strings ("1," "2," or "128") rather than as binary
values.
|
TEXT Part Type
The TEXT part type accepts no type-specific data.
